CVE-2012-10025 PUBLISHED

WordPress Plugin Advanced Custom Fields <= 3.5.1 Remote File Inclusion

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 05.08.2025 Published: 05.08.2025 Updated: 07.08.2025

The WordPress plugin Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) version 3.5.1 and below contains a remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in core/actions/export.php. When the PHP configuration directive allow_url_include is enabled (default: Off), an unauthenticated attacker can exploit the acf_abspath POST parameter to include and execute arbitrary remote PHP code. This leads to remote code execution under the web server’s context, allowing full compromise of the host.
